Lewis then said under normal circumstances he would have qualified much higher.
“It is what it is. I don’t really feel anything about it. I wish I was still out there but not today.
“There’s nothing really to say, could easily have been much further up there.
“But I’ll have some fun at the back,” Hamilton concluded.
